Connie Cabin lights questions

Post by trisho0 »

I found a cabin lights issues and I wonder how to fix it.
From video time after 013:00 can be seen on how the cabin lights becomes on and off while panning. Also, at 046:00 the cabin lights simply turns off and not easy to see instruments and later the lights came back by itself. Connie had the latest update done.

Any ideas to resolve it or to give a try? I don't fly at night often but this happened now with P3Dv4.5.

Found the Cabin Lights source issue from Connie. The problem is related with P3Dv4.5 Dynamic Lighting feature. When the DL is off Connie Cabin lights becomes normal but still dark. At least the cabin lights is steady stable. With P3Dv4.5 Dynamic Lighting feature activated then Connie blinks her eyes (lol).
I hope Connie cabin lights problem can be fixed soon. Probably a fix can be made to a file from P3Dv4\Effects folder......who knows.
I tested also in FSX and no lighting problems and even lighter cabin than P3D.

Found solution for the Connie Cabin Lights issues posted earlier in this thread.
I changed 2 settings from Prepar3D.cfg file:

[GRAPHICS]
MAX_POINT_LIGHTS=500
MAX_SPOT_LIGHTS=500

replacing the Default 250

Now hunting for a better Cabin and FE illumination like seen Connie in FSX sim.
Anyone with an idea about?

Found from P3Dv5.3 the lights settings are not working as intended. FE Cabin and Cockpit are extremely dark.
Any ideas to do tests with new settings?
